The
Millennials house enormous potential and constitute a major fraction of the
workforce across the globe. We can sketch out a view of where does this
generation stands in the present market scenario, with the data that almost half of the entire U.S. workforce is made up of the millennials. The
rapidly advancing technology brings along a sharp drift in market demand. As a
result, the millennials need to speed and scale up with the continuously
shifting industry trends and demands.
Being
projected to such humongous market demand, the millennials now know no rest. No
more curtained is the fact that the traditional education system is a faulty
one, with outdated, slow, and least interactive curriculums being the primary
loopholes.
There are
many reasons which stand in support of the migration of millennial enrolment
tendencies from traditional to the online education system. Let’s talk about them in detail.
Universities
aren’t exploring, and are strictly adhered to the basic lecture model. The
lagging traditional model lacks interaction, feedback, and two-way
communication between the teachers and the students. While modern education
system has a strong faith in the fact that ‘exchanging views imparts the best
knowledge', the traditional University curriculum has relatively lesser room
for feedback and opinion sharing, leaving the regular offline students to
suffocate with an inability to share intriguing thoughts and ideas, and improvisation
feedbacks.
Off
the regular phenomenon comes the online courses with options for regular feedback,
discussion community, and round the clock doubt clearing portals allowing advanced
interaction and enhanced learning.
Walking
hand in hand with the constantly updating technologies is a challenge for the
Universities. Migrating the entire University system over a new technological
model is not a cup of tea, and demands an extensive period for the success of
the same. But when we look upon the online education model, the dependency of
the entire system over modern technicalities answers the concern for updating
the mechanisms with the rapid advancements.
Millennials
aim at easily accessible, quick, in-budget, and effective courses that can make
them industry ready in absolutely no time. The generation is always on their phones and hand-held devices, thus
lifetime access to all-device-friendly content and study materials is a cherry
on the cake! Moreover, the millennials want to access remarkable, competent
mentorship who can not only shape up the curriculum abided knowledge, but also
can assist them to achieve an overall market experience and assistance.
What does the future of education landscape hold?
The traditional education system would be swapped by the online model, to a
fraction of more than half. The marriage of technology and education system
will give birth to a data-driven model, wherein the improvisations and
betterments would be an outcome of what students and learners want. Leveraging cloud technology will bring the
up-to-date study materials right in front, wherever and whenever the learner
wants.
Easily
accessible and highly affordable courses would offer equal educational
opportunities for students from all the economic backgrounds. This would further
be hiking up the job-readiness of more masses, especially the millennials, reducing
unemployment, and producing a more educated workforce.
